RAVEN - Police in Tazewell County need your helping identifying two suspects who allegedly broke into an Elementary school.

Sheriff Brian Hieatt says employees at Raven Elementary School reported the school had been broken into around 6am Monday. Deputies responded, and a security check was done throughout the school.

Detectives obtained video footage from the school's camera. The video shows two subjects inside of the school building during the early hours of the morning. It appears that after breaking out a window in the back of the building the suspects went through the building and broke into offices and vending machines. Money and other items are now missing from the building.
